Last that i had been installed was debian wheezy 7.6 install it without upgrading during installing ( dont install upgrade from network during the installation procedures) . Remember to make the Swap and the / partitions dont use ext 4 try with ext 2 fs because is more compatible with old pegasos2 openfirmware. remember to make a boot partition where you will copy the kernle and the intrd.img ... you can use that partion for boot loader of morphos and amigaos 4 plus for start osx . I cant help moore because i dont have a peggy2 any more :-( ... one of the best machine that i had in my life.

Hello,
I and also the other guys in our forum already tried to install 7.8, which ends
in the same problem like 8.0. Which version was running on your Peg-2?
I only remember that 6.x was running fine.
But it would be nice to find the problem, because the part with the
installation works fine up to 95%.
MfG, Robert

Hello Herminio,
in our forum now 3 other guys with a PEG-II did a
test and came excatly to the same result / problem.
I am not a linux specialist, but the kernel part
which is starting the installation is working fine.
But because the installation fail and later also the
booting there must be a difference in the
kernel which is installed later.
The Pegasos is based on the CHRP plattform:

Thank you if you can help in any kind.
Best regards, Robert

Hello all,
I was using a long time Debian 6.x
on my Pegasos II G4 with 1Ghz CPU
und 2GB Memory.
Last week I got the stupid idea to
install everything new using latest
Debian 7.8, because
on the DVD there is still the
install script for the Pegasos. :-)
Installation itself is working fine
till 95% and then abort there, some
like after-installation trigger.
We tested it on several Pegasos II
that we have, always the same. I can
go on without installing
more software, but I assume that
also some basic stuff is missing.
Also the 3.x kernel is no more
working on the Pegasos II, you will
get screen with grafic trash
right after starting the kernel.
<IMG_9965.JPG>
Any idea? I tried it in the IRC, but
got no answer.
It would be really fantastic if this
problem could be fixed and the
Pegasos II will work again.
Best regards, Robert aka aPEX
PS: I am just a user, no Linux guru,
sorry for this…
